Dear VW Club Committee, Chairman, and Membership Manager,
I’m thrilled to be a part of VWCSA, but I’ve noticed that the club’s benefits are heavily centered around Johannesburg and Gauteng. What about members in other major areas like Cape Town, Durban, and Port Elizabeth? How do we benefit from VWCSA membership?
The T-shirts and membership packs are fantastic, and we love wearing them. However, for those of us who live over 1000 kilometers away from your events, there’s little value in that aspect of the membership.[

Are you considering a reduced membership fee for out-of-town members? At what point do you plan to expand into other major cities, if that’s in your future plans?
I understand that these are a lot of questions, but I feel it’s important to address them. It seems like you’re losing members outside of Gauteng, and not attracting new members from other big cities or smaller towns. In Port Elizabeth, for example, many people question the value of joining VWCSA, as they feel they don’t receive much in return. Our VAG Enthusiasts group on Facebook has over 1,000 members, including some senior VW employees. I believe that 30-50% of those members would join VWCSA if the costs were lower or if a few events were held in this region.
The opportunity to grow the club is there. The question is, do you want to seize it?
Thank you.
